Merge HD MTS (AVCHD) files

[foxnews]

I have canon HD camcorder, and it creates many mts files (video clips). Normally I use Pinnacle to author/encode these files but the process is very long.

since my Western Digital HD media player can now play mts files directly from an external harddrive, I just want to combine these mts file into one big file. How do I merge MTS files into one big file without any decoding/encoding?

thanks

I did try it but it won't accept mts file. it accepts m2ts and ts. my version is 1.8.4

Tsmuxer is OK but the "big file" is audio out of sync.

Any solutions are welcome!
My camcorder is Sony HDR-SR11E.
Thanks!

I found a solution from this website: http://www.avchdvideos.blogspot.com which shows that eac3to can be used to solve the out of sync problem.

The method is a bit complicated. I am interested to know if there are other solutions.

The latest version of Sony's Picture Motion Browser Update (version 5.6.01) allows to merge the m2ts files. It is available for free download at Sony eSupport site. Once you install this software its very easy, just select the m2ts files to merge and choose the output folder for merged m2ts..that's all!!

Thanks arjuna1980. Can you download the complete version instead just the update? Is the merging process fast?

[arjuna1980]

Sorry for the confusion!! its not just update..Its the complete setup which you can download and install. Yes, its pretty fast. I use it for merging m2ts files from my Sony HDR-CX350V

Should the Sony's Picture Motion Browser be the tool I could use to merge M2TS from a Panasonic Camcorder?

Thanks
